@leosmith

matuklaw = to bite
Hindi porket natuklaw ka mamamatay ka na no.
tumuklaw = to bite
Pero pano malalaman kapag may lason yung tumuklaw sayo?

kalapad = wide

kalapad = wide

@leosmith
kalapad is a variation of "malapad"...as in the transformation adjectives make after words like "gaano".
It's listed as a variation in the database already under malapad.

Humawa = to infect (AF)

Apr 01 2020, 1:50pm CST ~ 4 years ago.

In the sentence:
Parang di ko ata kaya na araw-araw ganyan a.
I don't know what "ata" or "a" mean, but I hear/see them fairly often.

Apr 01 2020, 2:07pm CST ~ 4 years ago.

@leosmith ata is just the colloquial form of yata which TLDC has here

> yatà: [enclitic] I think (but not certain); I'm not sure; apparently; seems like; it seems; maybe

Makaminos = to reduce?
Ah , ayos naman pala , maganda yan para kahit papaano nakaminos ka sa tagal ng byahe mo no.

@leosmith minos here is just an alternative spelling of menos

Apr 01 2020, 2:25pm CST ~ 4 years ago.

How about that "a" - seems to be chiming in like "right?" or "ya know", but I wonder if it's short for something? I was expecting "no" there.

I keep on seeing these e's all over the place. For example, in this sentence:
Suki ka pala ng bus e!
Should that be
Suki ka pala ng bus ay!
(I'm bad at ay sentences, haha)

@leosmith
e / eh doesn't have anything to do with the word "ay"...

Both ah and eh are kind of oral tics...usually used to prompt a reply from the person you're speaking to...similar to English's "huh"...

"Nice day out today, huh?" - "Yeah, beautiful weather..."
